Cilantro Pesto

Great pesto with garlic, cilantro, walnuts, parmesan and olive oil that can be used with so many meals..

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Peel the garlic cloves. Rinse the cilantro, and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the parmesan cheese into small cubes.

  3. Process for another 1-2 minutes. Stop the processor, add the cilantro, and process.
  4. While processing, add the olive oil slowly through the feed tube.
  5. When all the oil has been added, stop the processor and put the pesto into a container with an airtight lid.
